Default 5.3 intake

has any body ever seen or heard of a 5.3 truck intake on a ls1 or ls6? I was told they make better power that the stock LS6 intake manifold. Whats the deal with that?

The 1999-2007 5.3L intakes (The Big Ugly) are about as bad as an LS1 intake. The 2007+ 5.3L (Trailblazer SS/GMT900) style is better than an LS1 by a few HP.

BUT THE LS6 INTAKE IS BETTER THAN BOTH OF THEM. THE ONLY UPGRADE IS TO A FAST INTAKE MANIFOLD. IF I WAS TO CHOOSE A STOCK PRODUCTION MANI IT WOULD BE THE LS6 MANIFOLD. COOL, JUST WANTED TO SEE WHATS UP! tHANKS

The truck intakes won't clear your cowl anyway. Go with the LS6 or FAST.

Another option thats cheaper than a Fast is a ported LS2. Also keep an eye out for fast 90/92s on here, there was a 92 ported to 96 on here earlier
